Advantage Loans

Has anybody ever had to deal with advantage loans?

Google produces a number of hits and, worryingly, many seem to refer to a BBC Watchdog report

Why are you thinking of using them? If you post details of your situation, others may have some suggestions.

I got loan from them, I was demanded more money from them. After writing a view times to the refund department, I still haven't recieved any refund. Just want to see if any body succeeded in getting a refund from them. Crooks they are. >:(

Let me guess ... they charged you a fee for introducing you to a loan company? You didn't take the loan and now they won't refund the fee? Or the loan was completely unsuitable, but they won't refund the fee?

Have a look at the penultimate paragraph of this article and write to Jackie Thompson. Mention the BBC Watchdog programme and see if that gets you a result.

If I've got this wrong, post back more details.

Thanks for the replies. At time of posting this thread I already was done in by Advantage Loans. Just wanted to see if anybody got thier money back. I haven't.

Interestingly, I went to this page and eventually found my way to a link for Money Saving and guess whose name popped up...???
